Why would China want to wage war on the U.S., when we're their biggest and best customer?

I kind of sort of agree with this guy. I wouldn't put anything past China, and the people of that government are known to have no morals. It's the Yellow Peril all over again, but this time it's not actually a conspiracy to claim that the higher-ups in the Chinese government (but not Chinese or Asian people as a whole, which is why I don't intend to be racist here) want to destroy freedom.
Of course, where this guy goes off the deep end is saying that the liberal politicians in America are helping China out. Bush practically handed the conditions for extreme economic growth to China on a silver platter via his massive spending to sustain the Iraq War. If China does take over the world, then it will be all his fault. (Well, his fault and the fault of the people who did nothing to stop the Tiananmen Square protestors from being massacred.)

Biological attacks by a foreign power: Check.
Generalizing the mindset of an entire race of people: Check.
Blaming political and economic issues on people ignoring God: Check.
It's a hat trick!

God related fucknuttery? Check.

Racism? Check.
A positive trifecta of fail.

"We are easily weakened because we have Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. She is useless in that position, having sold the attack on Libya to NATO and Obama."
Waaaaait... He's saying the US is weak because the prez attacked Libya?

Oh, what a load of shit. Remember the 1980s, when Japan was about to annex the west coast and take over the world? Or how about the Soviet Union before that? Or the Nazis/Empire of the Rising Sun before that? Or how about the original, the Empire that OWNED us as well as 1/4 of the landmass of the earth and most of it's trade?
China has no means of taking over the world. Our military outclasses them so much it isn't even funny. Even if they did take over, Europe and the US would make Vietnam look like Nazi-occupied Denmark.
Nor are they wont to do so. Why would China attack the thing that's allowing their meteoric rise? They would fall apart in a nanosecond when their moneybags shrivel up. Remember, their economy runs on making useless shit cheaply and selling it here. Attracting the world's ire would cause the downfall of their entire economy.
Finally, Europe rejected God because it's a bullshit fairy tale that makes everyone miserable and hateful for absolutely no good reason. Good for Europe.
P.S. You are racist. Fuck you and your entire way of thinking.

First off, I think the word you wanted was "approximately."
Secondly, you do realize that the US has a cyberwar division too, right? Didn't you ever hear about Stuxnet? The world's first real "Cyber Weapon", and it was most likely created by some combination of the US and Israel. The computer games are hardly one-sided.

@ J. James:
Thank you for the information. Sure, China probably won't attack anyone else, but at the rate things are going they could very well start the Cold War all over again. I'm rather pissed that the US is practically solely responsible for this due to all the buying of stuff that's Made In China-- those are the three most despicable words on any piece of packaging! We can't just be helping dictatorships out like this, but we are, and that is not going to change in the forseeable future. (sulk)

Ok, so i guess he's saying that the Chinese Communist party is being taken over by a faction that is more open to the West, and so it is inevitable the the Chinese Military will get fed up and initiate a coup d'etat. Then he criticizes our diplomatic overtures to China.
So which is it DWMcDarby? The Chinese is becoming more US friendly (in which case diplomacy could only do more good then harm), or that China will soon become a military junta (in which case we can drop diplomacy and stop worrying about stepping on eggshells)?

I gotta call bullshit on this one.
While I certainly agree that maybe the higher ups in China would love to have an easy way to attack our net infrastructure, I highly disagree with Darby's current assessment.
3 million attacks? If they were successful, our internet would be worthless right now. But otherwise it would mean they're just easily foiled script kiddies, and I just don't see that happening either.
Honestly, you could probably say that Lulzsec and other groups are more successful than China at this point.

Wait, how would a stronger Secretary of State prevent E.coli? I don't think any Secretary of State has had significant antibacterial properties.
Also, isn't our current financial problem caused by pure capitalist drive? Moving the industrial base to foreign countries is the result of U.S. industries seeking cheaper, more replaceable, less regulated labor. The recession is largely the result of a speculative investing bubble. The invisible hand of the market may decide that we're simply not competitive any more.

I have noticed that it seems like every single cyber attack comes from China. Don't know why they'd want to attack their economic ally, but there you go. If anything, they're likely connected to the Triads.
You really think this is being initiated by the PLA and NATO? You know the I LOVE YOU virus, the most damaging virus ever that shut down the Pentagon? That wasn't some intricate terrorist conspiracy, it was some dumb kid who made a virus because he wanted to show that it was easy to poke holes in the Pentagon's laughable cybersecurity.

Yes, because it's definitely the Chinese government that's clearing out your WOW guild bank and hijacking your email to sell your friends knock-off viagra.

Yeah a dozen or so people coming down with E.Coli will totally cripple countries of millions of people. China needs to try harder if that's their master plan.

Yes, the Chinese have engaged in cyber-attacks against U.S. targets.
I'm sure that our own NSA has attacked China as well...but good luck finding any reliable sources on that subject.
This is modern diplomacy. Everyone spies on everyone else. So this post is not "fundie" so much as just naive.
